Beauty and the Beast: A Comic Relief Pantomime for Christmas 2021

Lily James heads an all-star cast to retell the classic fairy-tale romance between a cursed beast and his warm-hearted prisoner.

Directed by Barbara Wiltshire

The world’s funniest and most star-studded pantomime is back! Lily James heads the cast as famous names from theatre, film, comedy and music gather together online to bring you a unique and hilarious adaptation of Beauty and the Beast, all to raise money for some very good causes. Joining Lily are Guz Khan, Sian Gibson, Kiell Smith-Bynoe, Miranda Hart and many others. A follow-up to last year’s hugely successful stay-at-home retelling of Cinderella, which raised nearly £900,000 for Comic Relief, some of the original stars return alongside an exciting new stellar cast for a production that promises to be bigger, brighter and funnier than ever.
